HC Deb 18 July 1890 vol 347 c211
MR. KILBRIDE

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the fact that the Field Artillery have completed their practice at Glenbeigh range for this year, and that it has been found most suitable for the purpose: whether the site of the encampment is about to be taken over by the Royal Engineers, so as constitute it a permanent camp; and whether, in view of the fact that Glenbeigh is 12 miles distant from nearest railway station, and that under the proposed Light Railway from Killorglin to Caherciveen, opening up one of the most congested districts in Ireland, provision is made for a railway station at Glenbeigh, the Government would take into consideration the facilities which the line would afford for transit to and from the camp, in addition to the local advantages it would confer, and take steps to enable the promoters to construct the line?

* MR. JACKSON

I am informed that a Report in regard to the camp at Glenbeigh has not yet been received, but the whole circumstances will be fully considered.
